HC Deb 10 November 1997 vol 300 cc412-3W
Mr. Denzil Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will change the polling day for the next election for the European Parliament from a Thursday to a Sunday. [14677]

Mr. George Howarth

We do not think it would be right to change the polling day for the 1999 elections to the European Parliament, which will be held under a new regional list system.
